No apologies for this - I'm sure you'll appreciate an early viewing! 26 months after seeing the prototype and placing my order, I'm now at last the proud owner of Number 10 of 51 made. Still some work to do to get it road-legal (rear lights, horn and stand) but I reckon we'll be terrorizing the natives by Easter.

Apologise I think not. Its the dogs doodahs matey. When I was a 16yr old college boy I thought the Guzzi 850 le mans was the best bike I'd ever seen. But she is certainly nice.

Very nice Guzzbun. I've always loved Guzzi's, and have only ever owned one back in the late 70's.
The new Guzzi's are getting more and more beautiful, as yours proves. If only I had the dosh, I'd have a Guzzi to keep my Duke company.

In the immortal words of Charlton Heston: "They did it! They finally did it!!"

Way too cool. Especially in black.

The shaft is boxed in the swing arm - beautiful welding job on the alloy.

Yes, and the peg itself is about 5 inches astern of the swingarm pivot (on my V11 sport the peg is in line with the pivot) so that makes for a very laid forward riding position - spose I'll have to rely on speed to keep weight off the wrists !

Update on the MGS01 Corsa - now registered, taxed, insured and on the road (daytime use only).

He's a beaut - fast enough for me anyway. Might be seen at a UKMOC Sunday breakfast one day soon - any good venues?

Well done - I saw you were struggling with the insurance, but have obviously got it sorted.

If you make it to the Weekender, I suggest that you bring a load of cleaning materials - to wipe of the sticky finger marks and drool :D :D

If you can't get to see it in the flesh at the weekender and you live down south In Moto in Croydon have one sat in their showroom. You'll have to excuse the marks on it that was me dribbling over it. :)

Where and when are the weekenders? I used to occasionally go to the one that met at Whiteways in West Sussex, but now living in Derbyshire so would like to find one a bit nearer home.
